I miss BF1942 and BF2. Many hours of happiness on them both. I always hope they would re-vamp BF1942 to todays standards. Unfortunately they have released everything but another WW2 Battlefield.

McCann's lose the appeal against Portuguese detective who claims they covered up the accidental death of their daughter. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4176546/Madeleine-McCann-s-parents-lose-appeal.html#reader-comments I am sure many will be outraged by the decision but I think it...

I had a Fiat Sedici 1.9 for about 5 years. Other than servicing and a near miss with a seized water pump it was faultless. Not inspirational to drive but coped with deep flooding we had round here and a few snowy winters. Nice little crossover type car to be honest. Eat front tyres at an...

I tend to do the same. Regardless of the tread depth sometimes they feel just, off on grip. Whack a new set on and you can feel the difference virtually instantly. I have chucked loads of tyres away recently well above the legal limit. I am sure the rubber just goes off. Sorry not...

I think another thing to remember that although the size and luxury of the three ships was ground breaking stuff at the time the actual design of the ships were very outdated. Cunard was making faster and safer ships at the time although smaller and less luxurious. They were powered by steam...

Don't book through your travel agent? My travel agent tried to push a taxi on me from the airport to my resort that is 12 minutes away for £59! Car hire was £350 a week. Fair play I booked with Atlas that went bust but the Travel Company wanted 4x what it has cost me with Budget. Money...

I called Budget who got close to the original price. However their policy in the Canaries is to take payment for fuel up front. So they have charged me nearly £80 to fill up a Fiat 500. That is more than the car hire cost.

Seems they have spent all their money (and mine) so have nothing to refund. I booked in good faith yet only did some research on receiving this email. Bookings have been cancelled as far back as 16th December, I booked mine in November. I have been stung now but thought I would warn...

I am off on my long awaited honeymoon on the 12th Jan. All booked but received a shock today. 8 days until we leave we have received notice from Atlas Choice Cars our rental voucher is longer valid. No explanation and no refund (lucky I paid on Credit Card). I have used Atlas before and they...

Mine has been Start work at 6pm Xmas Eve and finished 6.30am xmas day. Had a quick Xmas drink at 7.30 with the wife and went to bed. I woke up about an hour ago and start work at 6.30pm through to 6.30am Boxing Day. Them I am off until Friday when the shifts starts again until New Years...

You have also get through the wannabe Chris Hoy's. They often wear dark lycra with rather pathetic strobe lights under the PC protection of being fit or green. A number of years ago bull bars were taken off 4x4 as they were down right dangerous to pedestrians and other road users. They...

My argument is why bother building cycle lanes if cyclists don't want to use them? Regardless of the argument for who should and shouldn't and when and when not they want to use them is regardless. There is no point in putting money into them if they should be partially used. I assume they...

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were developing or have developed a replacement for the SR-71. However rumours about the Aurora have been going since the nineties so it may well be a black project that got discontinued but remains classified. Of course it may well be flying under very...

They told me my delayed FTC was delayed because they only had one engineer covering my area and he was on long term sick leave. He wasn't going to be back for several weeks or months. It was connected the next day so he must have made a miraculous recovery.

My credit rating was shot to pieces after my business went belly up. I couldn't even get a bank account. I opened a Cashplus account and used their credit builder to start repairing things and used it as a bank (you can do direct debits, transfers and have your salary paid in). After about 12...

Why fix what is not broken? 133k in 5 years the DPF is unlikely to be clogged due to short journeys. Nowadays there are loads of cheapish DPF cleaners to stick in the fuel system to clean them out. Even if that fails my last DPF cost me £450 fitted from a 12 year old car. I supplied an...

Prison is such a delicate balancing act. If you make it too easy it becomes no deterrent for offenders. Make it hard and the criminals get harder. The hardest prisons do not produce the lowest re-offenders. I doubt the softest ones do either.

I use the 1000 mbs ZyXEL plugs and get around 600 mbs. I also have a set of TP Link plugs 1000mbs. For some strange reason in some places the ZyXEL work better than the TP Link and vice versa. Might be worth trying a more powerful Powerline equipment.

Yeah just found that thanks. Slightly hijacking the thread or going off subject but would appreciate expert advice. We have a new VOIP system. When a customer rings on a withheld number we cannot see it on our phone system display. However the actual number is sent to our software and...

Do businesses need to let customers know their call is being recorded?
